This time, the Buddhist gods and immortals realized very clearly what it meant to be caught in one's own cocoon. They joined forces with the Taoists to prevent Fang Jian from holding the position of Heavenly Ruler, but they did not expect that the Jade Emperor would directly seal Fang Jian to Xiniu Hezhou.
It would be better to let him continue to be in charge of the Heavenly Law! The Buddhist sect wanted to regret it, but when they saw that the Taoist immortals and gods were all looking at their noses, their noses at their mouths, and their mouths at their hearts, they ignored their signals.
Now the Buddhist gods have reason to suspect that they may have been ambushed by a joint effort of Heaven and Taoism.
In fact, the Taoist gods and immortals are also wondering in their hearts at this moment. The arrangement of the Jade Emperor is too unexpected. Even if you go out and tell others that Taoism and Heaven did not work together to deal with Buddhism, the Buddhist gods and immortals will not believe it.
But it is impossible to ask them to go out and petition the Jade Emperor to revoke the decision together with the Buddhist sect. Not to mention that it is very embarrassing to do so, but Fang Jian was appointed to Xiniu Hezhou. What does it have to do with the Taoist sect?
"Your Highness," Fang Jian spoke at this moment, and immediately all eyes in the Lingxiao Palace turned to look at him.
Fang Jian asked, "Your Majesty, may I now be admitted into the ranks of the immortals?"
"..." The immortals and gods were speechless. The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "That's enough."
"Thank you, Great Lord." Fang Jian bowed, then turned and walked into the ranks of first-rank immortal officials.
"Congratulations to Master Hongqing on your promotion."
"Master Hongqing, congratulations."
"Congratulations."
The immortal officials around him congratulated Fang Jian one after another, and Fang Jian returned the greetings one by one.
Then Fang Jian stood among the immortals and looked at the Jade Emperor above the dark sky.
At this time, the Jade Emperor called out, "Where is Wen Tianxiang, the former Minister of Heavenly Monarch Palace in Xiniu Hezhou?"
Fang Jian was stunned when he heard the name. Wen Tianxiang?!
The next moment, a voice of reply sounded in front of Fang Jian. Fang Jian looked up and saw a middle-aged scholar wearing the robes of a first-grade immortal official, with a thin figure like a crane, a handsome and elegant face, a long beard hanging down to his chest, and a righteous spirit walking out.
"Your servant Wen Tianxiang pays homage to the Jade Emperor." Wen Tianxiang bowed and said.
The Jade Emperor looked at Wen Tianxiang and said, "Wen Tianxiang, from now on, Fang Jian will replace you as the Minister of the Heavenly Monarch Palace in Xiniu Hezhou. You will be transferred to the position of 'Kaochengjun' in Taishi Xiandu. You will both be first-rank immortal officials, assisting the Great Daojun Jiutian Xuannu in evaluating the achievements of all living beings."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tianxiang immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness Wen Tianxiang obeys your command!"
Afterwards, Wen Tianxiang thanked the Jade Emperor again and returned to the immortal group.
Then the Jade Emperor said, "Grand Commander of Taixuan Province."
When the Qinghua Emperor heard the Jade Emperor's call, he immediately stepped out of the immortal group and bowed, saying, "I am here."
The Jade Emperor said, "The Heavenly Court has been abolished. The positions of the Heavenly Judges in the Heavenly Court must be arranged as soon as possible. Their positions can only be promoted, not demoted. Also, Fang Jian has resigned from his position as the Inspector of the Three Realms. This position must also be filled as soon as possible."
The Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole bowed respectfully and said, "Your subject shall obey the command of the Great Celestial Venerable."
Finally, the Jade Emperor looked at the gods of heaven, Taoism, and Buddhism in the Lingxiao Palace and said, "I have attained the position of 'Lord of Infinite Tribulations'. I feel that many gods and people in the world are stubborn and unwilling to change their ways, which has led to many tribulations between heaven and earth. Therefore, I have the great power to
The power of the calamity in the world is transformed into the 'calamity jade'. From now on, within the Three Realms, no matter whether it is elixir, instrument, formation, talisman, or magic, without the power of the calamity jade, none of them can receive spiritual response and none of them can reach the heavenly law. "
As the Jade Emperor finished speaking, the Taoist Patriarch Taishang Laojun waved his whisk and repeated the Jade Emperor's words, saying, "Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Venerable: From now on, within the Three Realms, whether it is elixirs, instruments, formations, talismans, or the art of numbers, without the blessing of the Jieyu Jade, none of them will be able to receive spiritual responses, and none of them will be able to reach the heavenly law."
Then the Tathagata Buddha put his hands together, chanted "Namo Amitabha Buddha" loudly, and repeated the above words like the Taishang Laojun.
The next moment, the Way of Heaven responded, and the Way of the Robbery Jade was determined. From then on, no matter whether it was refining pills, refining weapons, setting up formations, drawing talismans, or deriving divinations, as long as there was no power from the Robbery Jade, no power would be exerted.
This is equivalent to another rule set by the Jade Emperor within the Heavenly Dao, and it is a rule set in his capacity as the 'Lord of Infinite Tribulations'.
Although the gods in heaven, Taoism and Buddhism were very surprised by this, it was not difficult to understand. It was obvious that after the Jade Emperor attained the position of "Lord of Infinite Tribulations", he had the ability to let all the gods in the three realms help him eliminate tribulations.
The way to eliminate the calamity is that the Jade Emperor uses his great magical power to transform all the calamity forces in the world into "calamity jade", and then lets the immortals and gods use and consume it.
When immortals, gods, and cultivators use the robbery jade, they must use their own magic power to activate the robbery jade. So they are using their own power to transform the robbery power in the robbery jade into the power they need.
When the calamity power in this calamity jade is completely transformed, this calamity jade will disappear.
But if you think about it carefully, this method is indeed not bad. The previous merit trading itself is a desecration of the word merit, but that was a method that had to be decided before, because the gods must have their own "currency". They can't just use gold, silver and money to trade, right?
Moreover, it is difficult to measure the value of goods through barter, and unnecessary disputes often arise, so after the Yankang disaster, the rule of merit-based trading was temporarily established.
Now the transaction of merit has been abolished, and the transaction is replaced by robbery jade, which can not only eliminate disasters, but also be used as a currency for measurement and transaction. It can be said to be in line with the general trend and is a matter of great merit.
Finally, the Jade Emperor spoke, "After the court session, you may all return to the Yaochi Lake to continue participating in the Peach Festival. I will dispatch the Grain and Food Bureau with Robbery Jades to the Yaochi Lake for the Immortal Lords to exchange for them. You may exchange some or all of your existing merit for Robbery Jades. Five hundred merits are exchanged for one Robbery Jade. The exchange will conclude after thirty-six days of the Earth Calendar, at which point the merit trade will cease completely."
